The Federal Communications Commission has released a draft of a notice
of inquiry (NOI) scheduled for consideration at its open meeting on
August 5, 2022. The NOI seeks comments on FCC licensing of in-space
servicing, assembly and manufacturing (ISAM) missions, which include
activities such as repairing in-orbit spacecraft, removing debris and
satellite refueling.

One goal of this proceeding is to identify ways the FCC can "promote
continued growth, innovation, and development in ISAM operations." To
that end, the FCC hopes to learn more about current and future ISAM
activities that may require FCC licensing, frequency allocations, or
other approvals. In particular, the FCC aims to identify how to
facilitate and reduce barriers for ISAM missions by modifying the
licensing processes.
